Pain d'Epice - Passage Jouffroy

Since we can't have Paris all the time whenever we want it,

Get out your sissors PB readers! And your bottle of paste, 'cause the next best thing is a mini Paris and you-can-do-it-yourself Just be sure to check with the "real" thing occasionally... You will need a bus to get around bien sur... "Real thing"...

I miss Paris so much --- and this blog is so delightful. It inspires me to conjure up some of the memories, like a child's blocks, and put them together as you do here, to create mon Paris here in our Berkshire woods.

My mini Parisien Bistro (sadly) has been ignored for the past several weeks as I frantickly worked to complete my big dollhouse. It finally came home from the workshop last Thursday at noon—and I worked day and night to decorate it. Now, of course, I am seeing all kinds of things that I need to buy to make it even better.

Thinking of boulangeries - have you ever tasted a "croissant aux almandes" which is quite different from Almond croissants in the States or in England or outside Paris frankly. I don't know exactly what they do to them but they taste very unusual. It seems that almond is added to the flour at the baking stage. Not just the frangepain bit in the middle or the slivers on top. Do you know what I mean?? Have you tried one? Very much for a cold winter morning.best,Susan

My husband and I are on Granville Island, BC, Canada, for a business meeting, but I still had to get my Paris Breakfast fix ce matin. When we were in Paris in June, I wanted to make a tour of Paris passages, but we decided to save that for our next winter trip to the City of Light.

As always, I enjoyed my Paris Breakfast today. I hope you won't be offended if I point out that those tall advertising columns in Paris are called Morris Columns. I googled it, and the first hit was Wiki, so voila:

A kiosk is a small outdoor stand selling newspapers, mags, tobacco, etc.

I recently came accross your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I dont know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Paris, Ile de France, France

I moved to Paris 2 years ago. I should have done it sooner but that's how the macaron crumbles. Living on the Ile Saint Louis next to the Seine after the 19eme is 'la cerise sur la gâteau'. It doesn't get any better. I've painted watercolors for Bocuse, Champagne Mumm, Guerlain, Frederick Cassel, The Russian Tearoom and the Maharana of Udaipur.
